No Information, Only Broadcasting

Ministers of state with independent charge can attend Cabinet meetings only if their ministry comes up for discussion. Yet, as I&B minister, the media still calls Tewari for a briefing after every Cabinet meeting.

Life was much simpler when Manish Tewari was just Congress spokesman. Ministers of state with independent charge can attend Cabinet meetings only if their ministry comes up for discussion. Yet, as I&B minister, the media still calls Tewari for a briefing after every Cabinet meeting. His officers asked Director General, Press Information Bureau, Neelam Kapur, if she could send him a brief after each meeting. Tewari was told Kapur would first have to clear this with the cabinet secretary. Ouch.
